Arts&Arms Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 (edited) MARTIN BERBERYAN A EUROPE CHAMPION European Championship of free-style wrestling in Istanbul ended. 5 Armenian wrestlers partook in it. Martin Berberyan /55 kg/ won the 1st place and became Europe champion. When Martin stood on the 1st stage, the national hymn of Armenia was to sound and our tricolor was to be raised. But carelessness occurred. The hymn of the Soviet Armenia was sounding and flag of the Soviet Armenia was hoisted. It’s not clear why it happened. But it is beyond controversy that the international tournaments in Turkey are distinguished by poor quality of organizing. http://www.a1plus.am/eng/?go=issue&id=17150 You guys, I also heard about this on the Armenian news on T.V. A1+ seems to think that the reason of the turks lifting the soviet Armenian flag and playing the soviet hymn is due to poor quality of organizing of international tournaments in turkey. Hmm.. I think otherwise. I think the turks intentionally did this. Edited April 27, 2004 by Arts&Arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
